Under head coach Bob Knight, Thomas flourished, averaging 15.4 points and 5.7 assists en route to Big Ten titles in 1979-80 and 1980-81. 1|16 Manny Millan/SI 1981 The stars aligned for Thomas and Indiana during the 1980-81 season. With Thomas as the captain, the Hoosiers went 26-9 before cruising to the 1981 national title. Thomas took home the Most Outstanding Player award and shortly thereafter declared for the NBA draft. 2|16 Jerry Wachter/SI 1981 The Detroit Pistons selected Thomas second overall in the 1981 NBA draft. With a young squad surrounding him, Thomas helped lead the Pistons to a 39-43 record, an 18-win improvement over the previous season. 3|16 Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images 1984 Thomas made the All-Star team as a second-year player in 1982, his first of 12 straight selections. During the East's 154-145 victory in the '84 All-Star Game Thomas won his first All-Star Game MVP. 4|16 Walter Iooss Jr/SI 1987 Thomas (right) and Michael Jordan went head-to-head several times throughout their careers, and while Thomas never neared Jordan's championship record, his Pistons thrice vanquished the Bulls from the playoffs (in four postseason matchups). 5|16 John Biever/SI 1987 In 1987, Thomas helped lead the Pistons to the Eastern Conference finals. But with the NBA Finals on the horizon, Thomas stumbled in Game 5, throwing an inbounds pass into the hands of Larry Bird and giving away the game. The Celtics went on to win in seven games. 6|16 V.J. Lovero/SI 1989 Thomas and the Pistons finally broke through in 1989. With a deep and balanced team, featuring the likes of Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman and Joe Dumars, the Pistons cruised to a 63-19 record, the best in the East. In a rematch of the previous year, the Pistons faced the Lakers, sweeping their Western Conference foe in four games. 7|16 Richard Drew/AP 1990 The Pistons repeated in 1990, defeating the Portland Trail Blazers in five games behind Finals MVP Thomas, who averaged 27.6 points and 7.0 assists. 8|16 CARLO ALLEGRI/AFP/Getty Images 1997 Thomas retired from the league in 1994 and promptly moved into a management position with the Toronto Raptors. During his tenure with the team, the Raptors drafted Damon Stoudamire, Marcus Camby and Tracy McGrady. 9|16 Jeffrey Lowe/SI 1999 In late 1999, Thomas purchased the Continental Basketball Association, then the developmental league for the NBA. Under his leadership, the league fell out of favor with the NBA and was forced to declare bankruptcy and fold. 10|16 Walter Iooss Jr./SI 2000 Despite his position with the CBA, Thomas (left) was offered and accepted the head coaching position with the Indiana Pacers in the summer of 2000. Under his watch, the Pacers made the playoffs for three straight years but failed to advance past the first round despite a core featuring young stars such as Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest and Al Harrington. He was replaced by Rick Carlisle during the 2003 offseason. 11|16 Gregory Bull/AP 2003 Thomas didn't stay unemployed for long. In late 2003, he was named the president of basketball operations for the New York Knicks. In that position, Thomas orchestrated several moves, trading for Stephon Marbury and Eddy Curry, among others. Despite robust financial resources, the Knicks finished with the worst record (23-59) in the East in 2005-06. 12|16 Greg Nelson/SI 2006 Following the buyout of coach Larry Brown in the summer of 2006, Thomas assumed coaching responsibilities in New York. With Thomas at the helm, the Knicks missed the playoffs for two straight seasons and tied a franchise worst with 59 losses during the 2007-08 season. 13|16 John W. McDonough/SI 2007 In 2007, Thomas and the Knicks were the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit by a former MSG employee. The parties eventually settled for $11.5 million, but not before the lawsuit revealed sordid details about the organization and star player Stephon Marbury (right). 14|16 Lynne Sladky/AP 2009 A year after he was released by the Knicks, Thomas accepted a head coaching offer at Florida International University. In three years with the team, Thomas tallied a 26-65 record. 15|16 Julie Jacobson/AP 2012 According to a recent report in the New York Daily News , Knicks owner James Dolan recently met with Thomas about returning to the organization. But, according to sources quoted, Thomas is not ready to jump back into the NBA ... yet. 16|16 Next up More Sports In a relatively surprising move, Roddick announced on his 30th birthday the U.S. Open would be his final tournament. The 2003 Open champ went on to win two more matches over Bernard Tomic and Fabio Fognini, but ran into big-hitting Argentine Juan Martin del Potro in the fourth round. After carrying U.S. men's tennis as a regular in the top 10 for more than a decade, Roddick ends his career as a former No. 1 with 32 singles titles and a match record of 612-213.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Pineview Big League skipper Joe Clark revels in this kind of problem.
Thanks to his clubŌĆÖs simplistic 10-1 victory over East Greenwich in the championship game of the R.I. Big League (15-18) All-Star Tournament at its PresidentŌĆÖs Field home on Sunday afternoon, Clark and Co. earned a berth in the U.S. Eastern Regional Big League tourney in Dover, Del., one that begins Saturday.
With the title, unbeaten Pineview qualified for its third straight regional event, but will need to raise approximately $5,000 to make the trek.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö There are coffee drinkers who describe their favorite brew as ŌĆ£regularŌĆØ or ŌĆ£light with two sugars.ŌĆØ Then there are others whose assessment would go something like this: ŌĆ£a heavy, syrupy body and flavors of brown sugar and cr├©me brulee give way to nectarine acidity and a clean, dry grapefruit finish.ŌĆØ
(EditorŌĆÖs note: This is the eighth in a series of reports about the new city of Central Falls, now clear of bankruptcy and proceeding anew to provide for its residents. Robert E. Bradley Jr. is the cityŌĆÖs first permanent fire chief since 2010.)
CENTRAL FALLS -- During the dark days of the bankruptcy, Fire Chief Robert E. Bradley Jr. saw his force of firefighters dwindle.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆō The Town Council is not scheduled to convene this month. Those plans have changed thanks to the proposed significant upgrades to the football and track portions of Tucker Field.
Parks and Recreation Director Michael Crawley confirmed late last week that everythingŌĆÖs in place for the council to gather this coming Wednesday night. The hope is that this special meeting will bring the town one step closer to commencing a construction project that some will say is long overdue.

I think really what just needs to happen, if anybody wants to do it, is just clean up the settings so that:
1. The yellow smiley that adds spoiler tags actually works. It seems like they added in that smiley and the regular spoiler tag code attached to it that pops up and wraps around the text when using it, but then the forum settings/configuration wasn't set to actually have it work when you press submit/Post/Preview.
2. Both the regular bbcode for spoilers ([ spoiler][/spoiler]) and the descriptive bbcode for spoilers ([/spoiler=whatever][/ spoiler] are setup to work. And frankly, I think if this is done, then the yellow smiley would work, which takes care of #1.
If this is done, then I think things would be okay. It does make me wonder if a couple of other things I can't do yet (embed video and use animated icons) are privilege-based or not.
Still not sure why you have any problem with spoiler functions. You're also the first to claim problems with animated icons. Maybe you should open a thread in the QSF forum. There may be something wrong with your account in general.

VITA 46.11, System Management on VPX, was adopted as a draft standard for trial use (DSTU) in late 2013. Since then, the VITA 46.11 working group has pursued a systematic plan to complete a fully ratified ANSI/VITA 46.11-2015, which was accomplished in June. This article describes that maturation work and highlights some of the key improvements made to the specification.
FPGA Mezzanine Cards (FMCs) are solidly established as a key mezzanine and carrier strategy in high-performance embedded computing platforms. Because FMCs are so firmly established, it is critical to the continued success of this technology that it remain relevant by keeping current with evolving performance demands of the computing industry. To this end, the FMC Marketing Alliance members launched an effort to step up the performance of FMCs.
The debate over copper vs. optical transmission mediums started the minute it was realized that photons could be used to transmit data. Since then, engineers have been trying to develop methods to economically and practically use various optical transmission methods to move computer data at very high rates. Optical fiber cable is widely used, but optical backplane interconnects remain a rarity. What is the status of embedded optical lanes in a backplane? This article examines current efforts in the rivalry between copper and optical backplane interconnects.
Aerospace and defense applications must support higher-bandwidth sensor input, more complex intersystem communications, and greater security for certain operations and related custom algorithms, all while contending with budget and schedule pressures. In addition to these broad challenges, application areas such as mission computing face the added difficulty of designing systems that meet restrictive size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. Increasing function density within a current space envelope is a common way of addressing these challenges.
ARMed and ready
ARM processors have traditionally been used as cores in intelligent peripherals. They are finally starting to show up on traditional single board computers (SBCs) as either the primary processor or in an FPGA with an integrated ARM core. Size, weight, and power (SWaP) criteria have driven choices in the past but what other factors are now being considered when choosing a processor?

Beale Street: The History Behind the Memphis Party Scene
Beale Street is much more than a great spot for a night out. It also played an important role in the civil rights movement.
By: Alyson McNutt English
Stroll along Beale Street in downtown Memphis and you'll see rows of elaborate neon signs advertising blues and jazz clubs, renowned restaurants and party-hardened bars and dance stops. But behind the now glamorous street's current facade is a history enmeshed deeply in music legend and lore as well as civil rights and economic independence and equality for black Memphians.
At its inception in 1841, Beale Street was known as Beale Avenue, and it was both residential and commercial, with high-end homes at its east end and shops and merchants making shop in the west end. The central part of Beale was known as "the underworld" and was mostly inhabited by saloons and brothels. "The underworld" began attracting musicians and artists until, in the 1870s, Memphis fell victim to a yellow fever epidemic. Mosquitoes, which are common in the riverside city, carry yellow fever. An outdated water and sewer system enabled the disease to spread more efficiently, as well. As a result, Memphians fled the city in record numbers. Of the residents who remained, nearly 80 percent became sick and almost one-quarter of those people died. The population dwindled so severely that Memphis lost its city charter. There was no government to speak of, and the city's once rapid expansion receded.
In the aftermath of the yellow fever epidemic, black Memphis businessman Robert Church bought land around Beale Street. It proved to be a good investment; Church's Beale Street bet led to him becoming the first black millionaire in the South. After Church's purchase, the Grand Opera House, now known as The Orpheum, was renovated and Church Park, located at 4th and Beale, became a mecca for blues musicians of the time period as well as prominent thinkers and politicians, who gathered at the auditorium to speak to the city of Memphis.
But Beale Streets modern-day character truly began emerging in the early 1900's when black entrepreneurs opened clubs, restaurants and shops along the famed corridor. Church's purchase of the area allowed economic opportunity and equality for black Memphians in a time of great racial injustice. And when blues musician W.C. Handy came to town, Beale Street was on its path to becoming synonymous with the best blues music in America. Handy wrote the song Beale Street Blues, which immortalized the swinging street in musical legend and lore. During the jazz age of the 1920's-1940's, musicians flocked to Memphis, and to Beale. B.B. King, Louis Armstrong, Memphis Minnie and Muddy Waters were just a few of the jazz and blues legends who helped create the style known as "Memphis Blues" -- a style that was born on the Beale Street. In fact, a young white boy from Mississippi named Elvis ended up making a name for himself in the music world, thanks to the influence of the soulful, sensual music he soaked in while hanging around the jazz clubs, smoking parlors and brothels on Beale in the 1950's.
In the 1960's, however, the area fell into disrepair. It wasn't until the 1980's and 1990's that downtown revitalization became a priority for Memphis' city government, and Beale Street was raised with the renewal tide. Now it offers live music seven days a week and is ground zero for blues and jazz festivals like the Beale Street Music Festival that's part of the famed Memphis in May festival. Clubs like B.B. King's, Silky O'Sullivans and Rum Boogie Cafe, as well as restaurants like Dyer's Burgers (said to have the best burgers in Memphis) and Hard Rock Cafe now draw visitors and locals alike. Whether you're looking to chill to some blues and jazz or want to find a raucous party any night of the week, Beale is the place to be.

January 11, 2010 When "Buckshot La Funke" appeared on a Louis Smith record, you may not have known it was actually Cannonball Adderley. Record contracts of yesteryear (and some today) buried exclusivity clauses in the fine print. But musicians have to eat, so they would record under other names, like the five included here.

June 2, 2008 The summer of 1958 was the season of bossa nova. Fifty years ago, a movement of melody, harmony, lyrics, and rhythm sent a fresh wave of sound throughout Brazil. In the years to follow, a small group of idealistic musicians would write some of the most enduring melodies in music history.

After Oologah outbreak, Oklahoma to give vaccinations
Seeking legislationFrankie Milley, founder of the Meningitis Angels support group, flew from her Texas headquarters to Oklahoma to support the families and said she, too, was concerned that vaccinations weren't given to those at the school. She said the Texas Health Department got 45,000 people vaccinated within three days after an outbreak in 2001. "This is a wake-up call not only for Oklahoma but the whole United States," said Milley, who lost her 18-year-old son, Ryan, to the disease. "The bacteria doesn't stop at the dorm room door." The respiratory bacteria causing the disease is found only in humans and is passed through saliva through activities such as sharing a water bottle or kissing. Exactly how it got started in the school is unknown, but Andrew Gregory Thomas, 7, and Shuache Moua, 8, died from the disease, school officials announced last Thursday.

About MeI am formerly from California and have worked with nightlife and street photography but, via this site, I am interested in exploring a different set of ideas and approaches - and under a different "brand."
At this time, I am looking for models and MUAs. Discussing or collaborating on lighting is also of interest. I do not currently need re-touchers.
I welcome general interest in my portfolio, but I am specifically looking for talent for three different concepts to shoot at this time. While I have limited time for other projects, I welcome collaborating on new ideas with the right talent.

This comprehensive self-study certification course is designed to teach the novice or pro everything they need to understand and succeed in every phase of the public utilities business.

The movement to introduce competition in the electricity industry comes at a time when many utilities are already ailing or underperforming. In fact, since 1990, half of U.S. investor-owned utilities (IOUs) have failed to consistently grow their dividends, or have cut or eliminated them altogether. According to a new study by Resource Data International, U.S. Electric Utility Industry Merger and Acquisitions, 1996, the current trend toward mergers and acquisitions is fueled by a desire to improve shareholder returns.
LG&E Energy Corp. and subsidiary Louisville Gas and Electric Co. (LGE) have withdrawn from the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) over the issue of electric restructuring.
In a letter to EEI president Thomas Kuhn, LG&E chairman and CEO Roger Hale said that LG&E advocates competition and retail access at the earliest possible date through federal legislation.
Long-distance telephone rates for U.S. businesses dropped 7.9 percent from February 1995 to February 1996, according to the International Telecommunications Price Survey, released by National Utility Service, Inc. on April 16. At the same time, local calling rates decreased by only 1.5 percent.
I confess. I haven't yet read the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Order 888.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved Portland General Electric Co.'s (PGE's) decommissioning plan for the Trojan nuclear power plant. The Trojan plant, which began operating in 1975, was permanently shut down in January 1993. PGE filed its decommissioning plan in January 1995, proposing to move the spent fuel to onsite dry cask storage, dismantle radioactive structures, and decontaminate the site for unrestricted use (except for the dry-cask storage area). t
Lori A. Burkhart is an associate legal editor of PUBLIC UTILITIES FORTNIGHTLY.
Nancy Schultz was promoted to engineering and construction services director at Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp. She joined Transco in 1982.
Columbia Energy Services has hired Greg Davis at its Pittsburgh office. He previously worked for the Natural Gas Clearinghouse and Exxon Corp.
James S. Thomson has joined Consolidated Natural Gas Co. as president of its new subsidiary, CNG International Corp. He last worked at Edison International's Mission Energy Co.
Westinghouse Electric Corp. has promoted Randy H.
In April, Texas Utilities announced that it would buy ENSERCH, Western Resources launched a hostile takeover bid for Kansas City Power & Light, and The Southern Co. initiated its ultimately futile bid for the United Kingdom's National Power. Eight other pending mergers involving major electric utilities have been announced during the last year. Utility managements clearly believe their future success requires merging with other utilities.
The U.S. Department of Energy will make $15 million in grants available to those willing to buy early versions of market-ready fuel cells. DOE will provide $1,000 per kilowatt, or up to a third of costs. Assistance will target buyers that want to purchase between 100 and 3,000 kilowatts. The first round of awards will be made by September 30. The application package is available on the Internet at http:/www.metc.doe.gov/business/ solicita.html.

Sound bites from state and federal regulators.
Primergy Merger. Michigan regulators have OK'd the merger between Wisconsin Electric Power Co. and Northern States Power Co. The settlement assumes about 2 percent in cost savings on combined Michigan revenues, and imposes a four-year moratorium on rate hikes. Case No. U-10913, April 10, 1996 (Mich.P.S.C.).
Gas Pipeline Certification. Michigan certifies Thunder Bay Pipeline Co., L.L.C.

As an aspiring food writer, chef, and molecular gastronomist, I have a multitude of items on my platter (no pun intended). trying to find the time to complete everything involves stretching every minute of every day. Unfortunately, not everyone has time for this like I do. For those of you out there who want to educate yourself and aren't able to go to a full on culinary school, there are many different books and methods you can do.
Firstly, there are many great books out there to beef up your cooking skills right away. My personal favorite, the one that got me going on this path, is "Everyday Cooking" by Jacques Pepin. Now as a CIA student, I don't often advocate for FCI grads but in all honesty Chef Pepin is one of the best alive, and his book is no small order. Front to back, his book will teach you everything from the basic cutting techniques to desserts to advanced haute cuisine. Next, everyone in the culinary world owns or has read from "The Escoffier" by August Escoffier. The chef of kings wrote the bible on modern haute cuisine, and it is a mainstay for anyone trying to be a self taught cook. Lastly, no one, and I mean no one, should not own a copy of "Food Lovers Companion" by Ron and Sharon Herbst. Any technique, item, food, or term is easily explained in simple terms in a codex that spans the entire culinary world. Currently in its fourth edition, it is a great gift for any aspiring cook. Of course there is a new favorite of mine, called "The Flavor Bible" by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg. A rather new book, is an adventurous romp in the land of flavor combination. Extremely user-friendly and clearly designed, this book connects any food with compatable ideas for spices and herb and sauces. The better the connection the bolder the font in the book. It also lists common and rare but equally delicious flavor groupings. Even as a culinary student, this book continues to amaze and re-educate me.
Finally, my personal favorite, is just going to the grocery store. Whole Foods and Wegman's both employ full time chefs who design meals and recipes for everyday cooking. If you have a question about anything and they can either guide you in the right direction or explain the answer in clear terms. Not to mention both have an excellent selection of organic foods, and a diverse range of international cuisines. So the next time you feel the need to be spontaneous in the kitchen, take a look at one of these and see if they don't give you some inspiration.

Listen: Does Katy Perry's 'Firework' sparkle or fizz?
With the countdown to the release of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" down to less than a week, songs from the album are surfacing left and right.
Today, one of our favorites, "Firework" is lighting up the internet. Whereas "California Gurls" brought the sassy and the sexy and "Teenage Dream" brought the romance, "Firework" brings the sweet. Listen here and let us know what you think.
It's a great girl empowerment song about how anyone can shine. All of us can burn brightly and be a firework. And the message is wrapped in a bright, shiny beat. Will it become her third Top 10 hit from "Teenage Dream?" I don't know if it has the mass appeal that the previous two singles had (or if this will even be a single). One thing is clear: it is ripe for club remixes and we predict it will be a No. 1 dance hit if nothing else.
Perry has a huge following among little girls—go to one of her shows and there are seven year olds running around dressed like Perry singing along to every word. This song should come with the lyrics printed in large type so girls can really embrace the uplifting message (And no, it's not just for girls, but, call me crazy, I'm not thinking this is the message that her straight male fans are looking for from her).

The Federal Election Commission yesterday filed its first court challenge against so-called "527 groups," suing a powerhouse Republican advocacy group for violating campaign-finance laws from 2000 to 2004.
The FEC charges that the Club for Growth raised and spent at least $4 million more than the limit, and so the group should have had to register as a political committee and abide by donation and spending limits. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.
"This litigation is an important test case on when 527 groups are required to register with the FEC and follow hard-dollar restrictions in federal law," said Michael E. Toner, the commission's vice chairman.
The 527 groups, named for the part of tax code that governs them, played a major role in the 2004 election, the first under the campaign finance rules that Congress passed in 2002. Those rules were intended to eliminate so-called "soft money," the large donations that political parties and interest groups used to flood the airwaves with issue ads.
Instead, the parties have to rely on limited "hard dollar" contributions.
Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and Progress for America from the conservative side and MoveOn.org and the Media Fund from the liberal side led a host of 527s that advertised during the presidential race.
The groups say they are on sound legal footing.
Club for Growth President Patrick J. Toomey said yesterday's suit was part of a "war on the First Amendment."
He said the FEC's suit was the result of a complaint by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee that said the Club for Growth stepped over the line when it targeted Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat.
"The commission allowed it to lie inactive for nearly a year and a half and then resurrected it as a platform to seek to take away our members' rights and exact a huge civil penalty from the club," Mr. Toomey said.
The Club for Growth's stated purpose is to elect pro-economic growth, limited-government conservatives, often by advertising in Republican primaries.
In the complaint, the FEC said it tried to work out an agreement with the club, but the organization would not agree to a remedy. The FEC is considering action against other 527s.
President Bush's campaign, key lawmakers who helped pass the 2002 changes and other political organizations sued the FEC last year for not enforcing its regulations on 527s. Those cases are pending in federal court.

We know all about Ori Feibush's failed run at Councilman Kenyatta Johnson's seat on City Council. We know all about the numerous heated meetings about his developments in Point Breeze. Yesterday, it looks like Feibush has received some good news about the long-planned project at 20th and Wharton.
Naked Philly, a real estate blog whose parent company is Feibush's OCF Realty, announced the project at 2010 Wharton received the necessary approvals to move forward with construction of 22 townhomes.
We'll leave it to Naked Philly to sum it up:
Last week the project went before the Zoning Board in a marathon two-hour session, and the project was held for discussion. Today, the ZBA voted in support of the project. When reached for comment, developer Ori Feibush simply said "Hallelujah."

|Reviews for Wisp
| readicted chapter 20 . 3/31
The exam was stressful, but went better than I anticipated. The ativan was absolutely necessary. So bad Dr. Germany, huh? Another piece to the puzzle. Oh, and I am so, so relieved that E told J about the very bad night and the touching. He was harboring terrible guilt and shame about possible inappropriateness. Neither J or Esme rebuked him. He needed that and it needed to not be a secret in case Wisp starts drawing these things.
| readicted chapter 19 . 3/31
So car trips are terribly traumatizing after the other debacle. It could've been much worse though. Thank goodness for Esme. Actually Edward should've had help lined up for that trip to the doctor. What would he have done if Esme had not shown up. At least he has admitted out loud that he knows he can't do it alone. That bodes well. Jasper's handling Wisp so well. I'm afraid how she will regard Japer after the pelvic exam. It's clear she's been assaulted with more than one person present. She could think that E took her there to allow Jasper to have his way. Gosh I hope not.
| readicted chapter 18 . 3/31
I got so nervous about them being near naked. Touching that she said Edward was good.
| readicted chapter 17 . 3/31
As Edward has said Wisp is smart, and very aware of her surroundings. Perhaps her gift at drawing is related to her lack of verbal expression. This separation from Edward was so important for Wisp and Edward. They both need to understand and trust that they'll be fine apart and for Wisp to realize that he's not abandoning her every time he's out of sight. Rose is pretty incredible. And though she's only coming to discover this side of her, she's naturally nurturing.
| readicted chapter 16 . 3/31
Oh my… those bastards! That poor girl. Garrett is good. I think the uncut penis will be a clue, no?
| Ur fan chapter 63 . 3/31
OMG! I read the whole story! I swear I planned on revieuwing earlier but i just kept reading. you are too good. Really I so want to kick the ass of Felix, the priest, Grendary and Charlie. I sometimes had to just lay it away to walk of some agression. And then i wanted to cry and then it became so cute! I loved it!
| Rita01tx chapter 47 . 3/31
At least there's closure on Father...Gerandy is still on the loose and there's still the question of her "Daddy!" Such a good, brave girl!
| Rita01tx chapter 46 . 3/31
Bless her little heart...she's doin' so well considerin' where they are! She trusts Edward, Emily and even Emmett to keep her safe and that's the most important thing!
| readicted chapter 15 . 3/31
Gosh, this is heartbreaking, but I figured she was trained as a pet because of the crawling, no furniture thing. Plus she ate with her fingers. So disgusting that another human could abuse and subjugate another human like this for their sexual pleasure. Sick f*cks! Oh so she knows another word, "Pet." Oh Edward, I hope this identity lesson doesn't result in more accusations of impropriety. I hope she will be able to keep the kitten.
| readicted chapter 14 . 3/31
I kind of figured that James is a small player in this. I bet there are some powerful men entwined in this and sadly that our Wisp is not the only victim. I hope her family is not involved.
| Rita01tx chapter 45 . 3/31
If that bastard shows up at the cabin, Edward will never forgive Emmett for the rest of their lives! I wouldn't be sorry if he's dead!
| readicted chapter 13 . 3/31
Oh gosh, did Wisp have to eat cat food. She already crawls around like a cat and expects punishment if she gets on the furniture. Giving her something to nurture and love is a great idea, as long as kitty doesn't scratch! Carlisle has very valid and reasonable concerns. Edward is bring ruled by his heart, but he will eventually need to step back and allow someone in to help. He can't do it alone, even with his great friends/family support. He needs a qualified individual that he can incorporate into his and Wisp' s routine. Preferably female. Oh crap, let's see what James is playing at.
| Rita01tx chapter 44 . 3/31
*Sigh!* I'm not surprised...it's traumatic for them both but it's necessary, I think.
| Rita01tx chapter 43 . 3/31
Emily is a smart woman and seems to be able to handle Edward's angst for now. And from the way Wisp loves that hidey hole under the kitchen table, I'll bet she'd flip for a cute little tent to sleep in!
| Rita01tx chapter 42 . 3/31
I'm really likin' Emily and Wisp seems comfortable with her, which is good! Even Edward is warmin' to her! Edward might be onto something askin' for an earlier photo of that Gerandy dude...hope it works!

Hudson 1.40 and why I eventually said bye bye to JSP in favor of Jelly
I just posted Hudson 1.40. This includes one of the biggest changes I made in Hudson, namely to ditch JSP/JSTL in favor of Jelly.
I've never been truly happy with JSP (and consequently any technologies built on top of it, including JSF and things like that.) It felt very anti object-oriented, because in JSP and their siblings, pages are always the king and the data is the servant. You write, say, /showProduct.jsp, then give the data as the parameter, maybe like /showProduct.jsp?id=513. This always remind me of writing C code, where you'd say printProduct(513) where the parameter is int used as the product ID. I thought we are all supposed to program in the Java way, that is product.print() where 'product' is the object that perhaps gives you product.getId()==513.
You might think it's just a matter of ordering between the method/JSP name and data, but it's far more significant. The first reason why it matters is because the Java way allows you to overload method/JSPs. Even in the web app it's pretty convenient to overload views --- you'd want to show a different page for displaying book details and CD details. So depending on the kind of product 513, you'd want to use different JSPs. The 2nd reason why this matters is because it hides the identity of the object. In the Java way, I don't need to know that the product is actually identified by a single integer, while C way forces me to expose it. In reality, you do it a little better in C by using a structure and a pointer, but in JSP you'd have to pass in all the "primary keys" explicitly.
It gets even worse in JSP. Once you get a "primary key", you still have to get to the corresponding data from JSP, and when you have multiple JSPs that work on the same data (perhaps you have createProduct.jsp and checkProductInventory.jsp or something), then the said logic needs to be on all such JSPs. In Java, coupling between methods and instance fields make it very easy for methods to access data.
So when I wrote Hudson, I wrote a little library called stapler so that I can use JSPs a lot more like methods. That has allowed me to use intuitive URLs like http://myhost/job/jaxb-ri/513 (which means the JAXB RI project build #513), and minimize the amount of boiler-plate code (I believe this kind of stuff has been done by web frameworks in other languages, like Zope/Python.) JSP is designed well enough to be amenable for this kind of use, and kudos to the designers of JSP for that.
The life has been good for about a year, but lately I started to get annoyed by problems. The first one is that containers are often very slow to reload JSP pages. It seems to be particularly bad if you have a lot of tag files, and I guess stapler's creative/abusive use of JSPs wasn't helping the reloading performance either. It was apparently because every JSP page and every tag file is compiled into its own class, by using javac. Even when javac is run within the container process (and some don't even do that), it's still painful 3 to 5 seconds. When you are just making color changes or something like that, such a delay just turns you off.
Then there's another problem of pluggability. One of the thing with a continuous integration system like Hudson is that you need to be able to support plugins. Because people use all sorts of different build tools, supporting everything in one monolithic application is simply not practical. A better approach is to let people write plugins, like perhaps one plugin to show checkstyle reports, another plugin to show Japex trend reports , or perhaps plugins to talk to some in-house systems (for me, that would be Sun's bugtracking system.)
When you think about what it takes to support plugins in web applications, today's web tier technology is quite immature. For example, how do you let plugins to render HTML pages? How do you pull in JSP pages from plugin jar files? taglibs? How do you isolate plugins so that their dependency libraries, taglibs, and view pages don't collide?
So I've been thinking about throwing away JSP for a while, and last Friday I must have written one too many JSP pages. I felt enough was enough, and now I switched to Jelly. It took me a full day to convert existing JSP pages to Jelly scripts. Fortunately, with mechanical search&replace, it wasn't too hard nor error prone. Some 100 JSP pages and 30 or so tag files were all converted to Jelly scripts, and that's what's in Hudson 1.40.
The page reloading got a lot faster, although probably rendering speed is slower. I don't think my users would mind that at all, because it's not like we are talking about 10 hits per second, and most latency is network origin anyway. A nice side-effect was that JEXL that replaced EL (Jelly uses JEXL) is more powerful, and I no longer have to define a stupid one-line JSP function and write all taglib.tld just so that I can invoke Set.contains.
Supporting pulgins is still going to take some work, but so far I'm happier. About the only thing I miss is the good tool support I used to have with JSP. You know, things like auto-completion of EL expressions, tag attributes, jumping to the tag definition, etc. Since I'm an XML guy at my day job, I think maybe I should write a RELAX NG schema generator for Jelly tags and validate Jelly scripts as a part of the build process.
If you have similar problems like I do, you might be interested in using stapler!
